I wonder how much of the military will go along with the captain's calls being made in the executive. They must have pissed off a lot of career military types with the appointment of Hegseth.
Everyone in the military takes an oath to defend the constitution and refuse unlawful orders. Trump may very well be headed toward fucking around and finding out if he pushes it.
On the other hand, the need for our generation's Smedly Butler isn't exactly a good sign.
